I was in middle school when they were popular and admitedly loved it. But, I love all music and have since I was in the womb The other day, "Gonna Miss Everybody" came on and I went bananas My boy-toy, who is 10 years older and was already into his most-pit Lollapalooza days back then laughs his ass off when I get down to "old-school" rap My all-time favorite band will always be Aerosmith Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Reminds me of German class in college. No matter what the dialoge we had to come up with, I always managed to fit in "Die Lange Schlange" (DEE Longa Shlonga) into it Technically means "The Long Snake" Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

On the Today show (I watch it religiously and wait all year for "Where in the World is Matt Lauer") they had a segment not long ago called "Girl Crushes" where women have a non-sexual, strong admiration for another woman. After seeing RENT the movie, I think I have a girl crush on Rosario Dawson Hot! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Saw it opening night last night. LOVED it. Though, I caught my boy-toy snoring during the first 30 minutes He's not much of a musical guy, but he's forced into it since growing up my favorite movies were Sound of Music, Grease, Saturday Night Fever, etc. I've seen a number of broadway plays/musicals, but never saw RENT. So, I HAD to see the movie. Now, I want to see the play even more. And, I have to add that Rosario Dawson is absolutely gorgeous & wonderful in this movie!

Whatcha gonna do with all that junk? All that junk inside your trunk? Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Thank you SO much---every time I woke up in the night last night, the first thing that popped into my head was "DING, fries are done!" Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

For me, they are both very relaxing, but in different ways. Scuba, for me, is almost like an amazing meditation in a gorgeous, mostly undiscovered world. Skydiving is relaxing in another way---one of the few things I do when I'm 100% in the moment and thinking of nothing else but enjoying the flight Neither are a fear in the least for me. My fears are much more intangible.

That's fantastic! Not to spoil the pretty-factor, but all I could think about what how electrically talented the person is who engineered that Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Well, if she's a butterface, at least you know flipping her over is a definite option/preference Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

You know, I was very much an idealistic child---but I can't remember ever believing in Santa Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Oh, for shizzal Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Nope, love it Love the lights, love the trees, soldiers & stars made of garland on all the street lamps. Love switching from my venti iced vanilla soy latte to my warm one. Love the food. Love the boots. Love wearing my favorite, self-named "Steven Tyler" long patch jacket. Love the Christmas bonus and the new winter Gucci bag I buy with it Love seeing family and sending friends cute holiday cards with dogs & cats in santa hats. Love annoying holiday haters Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

That's hilarious---I used to wake up in the middle of the night and that's the first thing that would come to mind I also taught swimming to kids when I was in college for two years---talk about getting in a never-ending habit of rhyming. Anything that rhymes, sticks in my head for-EV-er. Lately, I'm all about the snoop-dogg, D-O-double gizzal talk. Can't help myself. I've even been calling my favorite kitty, Sabre, Sabizzal.

The bootie pat is the entire reason I signed up for my lifeguard flag football team back in high school Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I'm a big-time So-Co girl Southern Comfort mixes well. But, from your choices, VODKA, mos def So long as it's a mid-upper grade Vodka. Anything less I can't swallow Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I LOVE World Market Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Females and males tend to have different ideas of what's sexy. But, for what it's worth, my vote would have been for SIENNA MILLER. She's absolutely GORGEOUS. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Thanks, ya'll. Based on all the responses it seems like I'm doing the right thing. My first job was in a vet clinic walking and washing and cleaning after the animals. I also taught children to swim for 2 years and, much like kids, animals learn by repetition, too, so I feel I have a good base in the meantime before obedience classes start. I'm very much into animal welfare, rights, charities, and am mostly vegan as we've discussed in other threads. I DEFINITELY agree with the positiv reinforcement and there would DEFINITELY never be spanking or anything even close to that nature. I can't even stand it when I see people pull on a dog's leash too hard to get him/her away from something. We've been rewarding w/ small treats for going potty outside (which he's been VERY good at). He's only pee'd once in the house and it was before we had his crate and I put him in a room for 45 minutes while I left to run an errand. He'd just been walked, so needless to say, he did it out of hurt for me leaving. I did very gently, bring him over to the spot and tell him no, then took him for a walk and gave him a treat, as always, when he pee'd outside. We give him treats when he goes into his "box" on his own when we tell him "go to your box". Like a lot of ya'll said, we've been using many one-word commands like "come" and "up" and "down" and "easy" but since we dont' want him sick on treats, when he does those things well, which is most of the time, we just praise and praise and tell him he's such a good boy. As far as punishment, I just didn't know, like if he doesn't listen to something, if you could give a command that they knew they were "in trouble" so to speak and they would have to go sit down away from everyone somewhere until you tell him to "come" again. But, maybe it's too early and continueing with the treats and praise will eventually make those moments fewer and farther between. We really are blessed, as he's not had any training, but responds VERY well to us. He's a mix, we think and the vet agrees, of boxer & beagle. Here's Cruzer's picture (taken at the animals shelter). Much like one person said, though, he listens well when you're watching him, but turn your head for a second and he might do something he is not supposed to---mainly, he likes to grab my kitty's (we have two cats, but one is not very particular) favorite rope, despite that he has his own rope and a zillion other toys. He's been very good with the cats and the cats don't seem to mind him, but my kitty loves his rope, he carries it around everywhere with him and then leaves it in a "safe spot" which happens to be right in the middle of the area rug for all to see, and we want to make sure Sabre (my cat who wears a skydiving pin on his collar) knows that he is still king of the castle and we will make sure "his" area and favorite rope are off limits. Cruzer (our newly beloved doggie) will not grab the rope unless we're not watching him and then it's the first thing he goes for. I mean, it's times like that, where other than saying "No" I don't know how to get him to stop b/c I can't give him a treat every time he walks by the rope without taking it.

Hi ya'll, I need help. Cruzer (my newly adopted 32 lb 8-mo old with no previous training) does not start obedience classes until Oct. 9th. He came from an abused home, so he knows the word "No" very well and seems to listen to that, even when you don't say it in a mean voice. But, I have no idea what to do for a punishment if he does something we don't want him to do and he doesn't understand. I will NOT spank, he has a crate we put him in when we leave but we want that to be a "safe" place and not a punishment place. If you leash him outside he'll view it as reward since he loves to play in the yard and the neighbor's kids come over. If we just put him in a room, he'll wimper and get sad and pee on the floor. What can I do for punishment besides just say "No"---like give him a "time-out" somewhere, but where and how. Anyone with dogs---I need advice. I grew up with several dogs but all very small and for "punishment" my parents would just put them in their room where their papers were (my parents refused to walk dogs and had a room in the back by the utility room with papers for them to go on.) This is my *gasp* *beer* FIRST big dog so I'm not sure what to do on a few things and I REALLY want to be a good mamma to him as he's not been treated fairly at all in the past. Thanks for any advice on anything:-) Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I jump every 2-3 months b/c I have many hobbies. I love skydiving, but for me, I'd be bored and almost stressed limiting myself to just that. I get stressed when I start to feel like something is more of an obligation than a release. I enjoy waking up in the morning on a weekend and deciding, I feel like kayaking today, or offshore fishing or watching a marathon T.V. show all afternoon drinking cocktails and oiling my cuticles. Whatever I feel like that day, that's what I do. The one thing that's funny, though, is when I'm out fishing, sometimes I look up at the sky and think What a beautiful day to skydive. The clouds are perfect and great for pictures But, I've never been out skydiving and thought what a great day for fishing. Ha! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Definitely go to a shelter. She will fall in love with one, guaranteed. They'll have all sorts of breeds, mostly mixed, but I think mixed are the best anyways. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Friends & Will & Grace I'm an early to bed, early to rise-r so I never watched either until they re-ran at 7 p.m. time. There was a comedian once who made fun, but about movies, how he doesn't see them until forever later and wants to talk about it, but people saw that movie like a hundred years ago. That's how I feel---I think Friends is hilarious Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I'm exhausted with my new 30 lb 10 mo old Beagle/Boxer mix. But, he's sweet as can be and came from an abusive family previously. It didn't take him long to figure out he'd be spoiled rotten from now on--bone in every room, 3 beds and tons of toys I've been thinking about adopting a doggie (but with two kitties that are my babies, it's been a long-thought out process) and with the shelters needing more room for Katrina victims, we decided to really start looking. I'm so in love. He gets along REALLY well with the kitties and the kitties know they are still boss Here's my new sweetest thing: (picture taken at the shelter) Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I've read some descriptions that sounded exactly like me. This sounded very little like me. All signs point toward crap---but I believe in possibilities until prooved otherwise. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
